All these billionaires are like two journalistic puff-pieces away from fleeing to Galt's Gulch and gassing everyone but their sex slaves with V/X. If this doesn't happen, there will be tech moguls entombing concubines in pyramids within our lifetimes

There is no logical reason to subjicate an alien race or even land on their planets for resources.

All resources that we need are more abundant in the asteroid belt or rings around other planets.

We need to leave the planets with life alone or else we get hosed by those Black Monoliths from 2001

yeah this you chumps.
Get one near earth asteroid made out of platinum BAM! More platinum than all of humanity has ever mined in its entire existence in one solid go and it's just a rock floating in space. Why go to a planet with an atmosphere and a bunch of poo poo in the way when you can pluck a km wide rock with it's almost pure metal just hanging out, waiting to be molded into cool things?

You know how in spacegames everyone always trades and wars over gold and poo poo? gently caress you there is so much metal and minerals out there we'll be making toiletpaper out of palladium because we have so much of the stuff. In the future everything will be made out of exotic metals but we will fight over wood and sushi. Then again when you have actual limitless energy as we would if we were cool space-hopping apelords then we'd just mash a bunch of particles together to make whatever the gently caress we want. Future owns.

His endgame must be less than 10 years for this poo poo. Lets stuff him in a rocket and send him to mars if he hasn't done it by then.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

elon musk is a giant tool but he at least seems to sincerely mean well. ive never seen anything to suggest he doesn't believe his own bullshit about tesla and spacex being altruistic endeavors

Why not make the moon a second human planet

As far as human life is concerned it has just as much water, atmosphere, and gravity and it's way loving closer and you could shoot lasers up at the moon and piss the moon men off

Also nothing could ever happen to earth that would make any other place in the universe better. The worst concievable thing is that our water or atmosphere get ripped away or our molten core freezes and we lose our magnetic field.

That situation is the starting point for mars, but coupled with way less gravity and sunlight, and mars is wicked far away and on the wrong side of our gravity well.

Mars is dumb.

Too close to Earth I think. If something catastrophic happens to Earth, Luna is probably hosed due to only being like 238,000 miles away from us and in our orbit, as opposed to Mars which is more like 34,000,000 miles away from Earth at its closest.

IANAA but without even looking up the distance I'd guess it has something to do with the hellish atmosphere and the crushing gravity being a bit too much for our soft little fleshy bodies to deal with

Easier to turn nothing into something than it is to turn something lovely into something acceptable. There may be some life lesson in that but I'm not smart enough to figure that metaphor out

mars is where part of our antedeluvian race warred themselves to death, thats how its soil became so evenly strewn with such a heavy element, the old cities rusted away into the dust

meanwhile venus was where the other part lost control of the atmosphere
